Hire a PT it's worth it. You can get pretty good ones for really affordable rates at Blink. Diet is definitely a big part but if you're not working out it doesn't matter as much because sitting is what gets you. Cutting calories will just slow your metabolism (it's circular) so you need to cut calories and still work out to keep up the metabolism. Strength training and HIIT in my view is way more effective than just running on a treadmill.

I follow food blogs. They give you good ideas on how to eat healthy. Meal prep is key. If you don’t have healthy food available, you just end up eating garbage.

Eat all you want but stop eating after six pm. Run a lot in the mornings. If you don’t like running l, get a bicycle and an indoor trainer ( they are lots of fun, you can compete with others online)

Be patient for the first two weeks. Things will start to change

Get ClassPass, go to workout classes. Or just buy classes at HIIT studios. Same as a personal trainer and you can do a lot of the stuff on your own at the gym

Main factor in weight loss is diet. Aerobic exercise helps, but you just need to cut your caloric intake. Do a rough calculation of your caloric intake each day and keep it below what you burn by a set amount. Eating foods high in water content help fill you with fewer calories. (Apples or pears are great for this)

^yea diet is important, but if you love food (like I do), then you just need to work out

I am a Technical Product Manager at Accenture that would love to find a role/project that focuses on "Personalization & Content Discovery" such as a Spotify/Amazon/Google/Meta/Netflix/Disney etc.

What are some technical skills or subjects I should get a better understanding of to better position myself? I am by no means an engineer, but it would help me understand what is possible with today's technology vs fantasy.

Hi everyone. I'm looking for some guidance on Accenture Management Consulting Manager salaries in Middle East, specifically in Riyadh.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have 1 job offer that is an hour away and pays 45k, after negotiations (Research Associate Position at a University) .

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?
